“There is in them a softer fire than the
ruby, there is the brilliant purple of the amethyst, and the sea green of the
emerald - all shining together in incredible union.” - Pliny (c. AD 23 –
August 25, AD 79). I don’t often find myself quoting first century philosopher/naturalists,
but I found that this quote by Pliny just seems to fit this painting. He was
describing the beauty of the opal but it also seems to apply to the view I had
of the mountains several weeks ago.
Happy Weekend!
